Were the Japanese internment camps limited to 10 people it would still have been wrong, but it would not have been a whole-scale disenfranchisement of an entire people.

You just repeated my characterization (while ironically denying it was accurate).
You are attempting to say that an abridgment must happen to the "American people" before it is a problem. I pointed out that it IS happening to American people. Your issue with my statement is that my use of "American people" doesn't mean "lots of Americans" or even "most Americans" (which you are arguing must occur before you are concerned).
